Lagos Rugby League: Racing set to delay Cowrie’s title celebration

By Akeem Lawal
THREE matches will be played in the Week 5 of the Lagos Rugby Men’s League as actions return to the Main Bowl of the National Stadium, Surulere Lagos on Saturday, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.

Haven secured qualification into division 1 next season; Eco II Rugby Club will take on Kings College Old Boys in the opener at 11am in division two’s only match after which Lagos Rugby Club has a ‘BYE’.

The second match of the day will see Gosar RFC of Ajegunle take on Lagos Police RFC at 1PM, whilst the star match of the day will feature Racing RFC against league leaders Cowrie RFC at 3pm.

With four points separating the two rivals, a win for Cowrie RFC will secure their league title. However, a win for Racing will keep them tie on sixteen points each separated by points difference. 

Racing will hope to have their Fly half, Monday Omorogieva back in action after the demise of his father last weekend.
Cowrie Coach, Joseph Ofoha announced that Center man, Alfred Oche will recover well in time to face Racing on Saturday.
